Our project “Fields of Memory” is awarded at the National Architecture Awards of Turkish Chamber of Architects in the Ideas Representation Category! 🥳 The project is selected for the restricted Commemoration of Epidemics and Health Workers Design Competition!

Rain gardens, where runoff water will be collected and gradual herbal treatment will be made on permeable surfaces, offer a cross-section of natural life with their compositions consisting of aquatic and aromatic plants and emphasize the integrity of the ecosystem.

Aiming to keep the urban memory of the epidemic alive, the project creates a landscape of collective and performative memory where idea and knowledge couple. These memories of the pandemic are planted in the ground and raised for the future of the whole society. While this unique place of memory and commemoration in the heart of the city tells the bitter stories of the epidemics to the citizens; life and death, past and future are hidden within the fields of memories.
